A Family Reunification Center was set up at a Holiday Inn express not far from where we are right now. A number of Fedex Family members were there trying to be reunited with the employees. Some of these employees arent allowed to have Cell Phones on the floor of the facility and so when the shooting broke out, they ran out and were unable to reach their loved ones.
